Such defining efforts as Cocoon and Apollo 13 seem light years away for Ron Howard after his meanderings in the pages of Dan Brown (The Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons) and this tripe about men behaving badly. Ronny and Nick (Vince Vaughn and Kevin James trading on their Swingers and King of Queens personas) are auto designers trying to secure a deal from Chrysler.

Poor Jennifer Connelly gets wasted as Ronny's girlfriend, and Queen Latifah is squandered as an oversexed auto exec. Note to Vaughn: it's time to move on.
